Marley & Me...

Craig and I, along with his mom and uncle, went to see Marley & Me over the Christmas weekend. What a good movie it was! I truly can't say enough about Marley & Me. I think anybody--animal and non-animal lovers alike--would LOVE this movie. I can't tell you how many times Craig and I looked at one another, knowing that we had experienced a similar "Marley moment" with Sydney. I guarantee you will laugh, probably cry, and leave the theater with a deeper appreciation for your family--human and otherwise! Definitely a two thumbs up movie!

Upon arriving home we were greeted by Sydney, sweetly wagging his tail as we opened the door to Craig's mom's house... what an adorable sight, especially considering the movie we had just seen. The only problem was that we had crated him before we left... in the same crate he spends 7-8 hours in every day while Craig and I are at work. Apparently Sydney had a "Marley moment" while we were at the movie. Somehow he managed to bend the frame of his metal crate, which caused the front side of the crate to collapse inward, giving him his freedom. He then proceeded to tear his bedding into hundreds of little pieces and break two large chunks off of the plastic tray that lines the bottom of his crate. Thankfully, nothing else in the house was disturbed. I wonder if he's trying to tell us that he's getting too old for the crate?!?

A Night at the Movies!

Craig and I decided to go see Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull last night. I was a HUGE Indy fan when I was a kid... which is part of what sparked my brief interest in becoming an anthropologist/archaeologist during college. I'm sure we all went through stages like this. Anyway, we both gave the movie two thumbs up! It was the same Indy humor and adventure that we loved from the first three films... just with better special effects. We highly recommend this movie to any other Indiana Jones fans or to anyone who is just looking for a fun night at the movies.

Into The Wild...


Friday night Craig and I went to see Into The Wild... a movie based on the real life of a young man named Chris McCandless, a.k.a. Alexander Supertramp. The story follows Chris as he graduates from Emory University, abandons all of his possessions, and sets out on a journey of discovery. He hitch hikes across the country and even into Mexico before reaching his goal of Alaska. The landscapes were absolutely beautiful. The movie was amazing, tragic, and exciting all at the same time! All in all, I give the movie an overwhelming two thumbs up!
